Mayor Courtenay of Charleston.

William A. Courtenay, Mayor of Charles
ton. S. c., "a gentleman known to many of
is among the New York arrivals yesterday.
Mr.. Courtenay is about 55 years old and in
appearance a typical southerner. He has
been Charleston's mayor for eight consecu-
tive terms, but will refuse further nominal
ton. A few weeks ago he was chosen trustee
of the Peabody fund, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late Gov. William
Aikens of South Carolina. Mr.. Courtenay
is progressive Democrat. His record shows
that he deserves well of his party and his
country, and it is not improbable that he
will yet fill an important Office of State.

DRIFTING I'm THE SOUND.
A White Sharpie-Was the Owner of tn
Boat Lost OverbOard2

A White Sharpie-Was the Owner of the
Boat Lost Overboarda
The schooner Emily Bell, Captain Kelley,
from Cape Cod, bound for New York light,
left Charles Island Sunday morning. Off the
Middle Grounds she picked up white shar-
pie, 20 feet long, ~ or 5 feet wide, one
mast, containing some oyster tongs, a bushel
basket, an oil cloth coat, but no crew. There
was no name or anything to indicate where
she belonged. One mast had been removed
as is customary in oyster longing. The an
Choir was up and the boat was clean, which
gave the impression that she had been tied
up, perhaps at Milford or Stratford, md had
hoated out into the Sound. The owner may
have fallen overheard. The schooner put in
at Bridgeport at 10 a. m. with the sharpie
Captain Kelley thought that before leaving
for New York he should leave the boat or
his address at the houses SO he could be

REss, THE TRAINED BEAR,
Takes the Audience by Storm-Her
HNmRnrw

History.
Tex Bender, the cowboy fiddler, and
Madame Bell with her trained bear Bess are
the attractions at the museum in the Grand
Opera House this week. They have been en-
gagged by the Jesse James combination to ap-
pear with them for this week only on the
large stage in the opera house. They come
on in the second act and yesterday they re-
ceived perfect ovation.
Bess is really a wonderful performing
bear. The Bender found her on his ranch
in Colorado, which is some distance north of
Denver, when she WAS only four
months old. Five months later she opened
her eyes. She was born on the first of No
vember last. Madame Bell has been train
ing the bear, which is of the cinnamon
breed. The performance is one well worth
seeing. The Bender during his spare time
on the ranch devoted it to making a head
stall for horse out of nothing but hair
closely woven. 1t will last lifetime. He
has already had it five years. Other things
he has also made out of hair, all by hand
work which he las on exhibition in the mu-
scum. The Bender dresses like a cowboy,
although his attire is much more modified
than those who generally call themselves by
that name. He is an interesting talker, has
good deal of wit, is a good fiddler, and to-
gether with Madame Bell and her trained
bear they make strong attraction for the
Grand. They go to Boston next week.

TAKEN TO THE INSANE RETREAT.

The many acquaintance of w. w. Perry,
practising attorney in this city, will be sor-
ry to learn that he has for some time past
been almost wholly incapacitated for bust
ness in consequence of the Incorporate use
of stimulants and narcotics, and is now some
what insane. On Saturday last he was, upon
certificate of DR.. Fuller, placed in the Hart
ford Institute fer Insane, and the appropriate
proceedings in the Probate court will be sup
plemented. 1t is expected that the treatment
of that institution for time will restore him
fully to bodily and mental health, result
which will be most gratifying to everyone.
Until dissipation clouded his intellect there
was no brighter, ADLER or more promising
young attorney at the bar of Connecticut
than he, as his successful management of i'm
portant cases, civil and criminal, fully ats
tests; and this community will most gladly
commit to him like business when he shall
be himself again, as it is confidently expected
he will be ere long. The restoration to tenn
perate and useful lives of persons whose cases
were more hopeless than his gives assurance
of his full recovery.-Hartford Times.

Gently lost two of his herd of cattle by some
disease that was not understood On Sunday
four more were sick and DR.. Cressy was sent

any of those now affected die post-mortem

has been sent for and will visit the animals
this morning in company with DR.. Cressy.
Anthrax is generally said not to be commu

from one that has died of the disease is very
